29.99 €
This book is for those who are interested in numismatics and like to study history from unusual angles. Coins, as one of the first universal means of exchange, appear here not just as a means of payment, but as an integral part of world history. They reflect all political, economic, cultural peripetias, they are associated with many riddles and mysteries. How did rubles, dollars, pounds, shillings come into existence? What did the first coins look like and what were they made of? How the issue of new coins could contribute to the prestige of the state and could the authorities participate in the process of making counterfeit money? The book will be useful not only to numismatists, but also to those who are interested in the history of human civilization in the prism of the development of the monetary system.
